THE WELLS SECRET.

Ykzew If az ny eoyhood; in a lonesome valley
rneldoN,
Like dryads mirror hidden by tbs woods
dim archss near:
Its eye flashed back the sunshine and grew DARK
and sad with shadow,
And loved its truthful depths, where every
pebble lay 50 clss-.
scooped nv haa& ani drank it, and watched
the senSate 9ui"er
OF the ripping rings Of silver, as the drops of
pressed the richer grasses from its little trick
ling river
TIL at last l knew rs friends know, every Sc
cret of the @ell.
But one day stood beside it, on sudden, I'M
expected.
When The sun bad crossed the valley and a
shadow hid the place;
And looked in The dark waters. saw my palhd
cheek reflected
And beside it, looking upward, met an evil,
reptile face,
Looking upward furtve startled at the silent,
swift intrusion;
Then it darted toward the grasses and l saw
not where 1t fed;
But knew its eyes were On me, and the old
time sweet illusion
OF the pure and perfect symbol / had cher
ished there was dead.
o, the pain to know the perjury of seeming
truth that blesses!
My soul was scared like SIN TO see the 1alSe-
hood OF the place
And the innocence that Knocked me; while in
dim, unseen recesseS
There were lurking fou!er secrets than the
furtive reptile face.
And since then--ah why the burden? when joy.
Gus faces greet me.
With eyes of limpid innocence and words de
void OF art,
cannot trust their seeming, but must ask what
eyes would meet me
Could look in sudden silence at the secrets
of the heart. JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY.

Look at some of the junior cartoonists
Charles Jay Taylor, whose fun is always
original, piquant and elevating, looks as
sober as parson when he is producing the
funniest faces and situations on paper. In
company he is retiring and quiet and his wit
only scintillateS among those who know him
very intimately. Taylor, by the way, is the
only conspicuous one of his number who re-
ceived an art education The rest educated
themselves. Sober as Taylor is, he is ex-
celed in this respect by Mr.. Zimmerman, of
Judge, than whom the most timid girl could
scarcely be more shy. Yet he can be as
audacious and rollicking with his pencil as
ever William R. Travers was with his lips.
He is from the central part of this State and
made his way upward from humble begin
ming. He is still in the thirties.
E ". kemble, by the way, is the son of a
Californian Forty-niner, and after hard
struggle attracted the interest of Mark
| Twain, who got him to illustrate "Huckle-
berry Finn and then introduced him to
Gable, the novelist, who took him South.
| Through this he got on the Century. While
in the South he fell in love with the Ameri-
can-eyed African as O source of humor, and
any day one IS apt to find him rooted in the

SOME SOLEMN FUNNY MEN
THUMBNAIL SKETCHES OF GREAT
NEW YORK CARICATURISTS.

An Interesting Party at the Salmagun-
oil Dinner-Personal Peculiarities OF
Mast and Keppler, Taylor, Opper,
Kemble and Others of Brilliant Prom
ise-How These Men Do Their Work
and How They Spend Their Leisure.
New YORK. April 16-At the Salmagundi
dinner the other night, amid sixty of the
jOlliest souls imaginable, one was far more
sprightly and vivacious than all the rest. 1t
might not surprise every one to hear that
this was E. W Kemble, of the Century, one
of the humorous artists Of the day. But to
one who knows the dumb humOrists of the
times-the men who make fun in silence
with their pencils-it was extraordinary.
Humorists are proverbially men of pathetic
face and sober mien, but of all the almost
owlish gravity ! ever knew among men these
pencil humorists have the most. Take Mast
and Keppler, the satirists, for instance. 1t
is said that Keppler is esteemed as a very
/ bright talller in the German colony, but
neither he nor Mast is funny or in any de-
gree lively in English. Both are about so,
and both have made fortunes and are taking
things easily" Mast is dressy, almost natty,
